Nothing to crow about

The underground was shut down for another day of pointless strikes yesterday. Bob Crowe, the militant leader of the union, claims they are to preserve the safety of the tube, that keeping people in the ticket offices - even though these days most use Oyster - is essential for travellers safety. Yeah, well. This picture is the queue for the bus at Stratford station.

As a cyclist, it doesn't affect me directly, but the gridlocked streets were unpleasant. The sad thing is those who might be trying cycling go away with the impression commuting is like that.
